Development Professionals From Four Countries Participate In A Capacity Building Program On Community Driven Development

About 11 NGOs from Bangladesh, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and India participated in a ten-day Community Driven Development capacity-building course for impactful implementation of community-driven development projects.

The program focused on enhancing the skills of development professionals in applying the best-learned practices in implementing development projects in their respective communities. The program is aimed to enforce that development is not driven by an organization but is people-centric and community-driven. The participants also enhanced their knowledge of different sustainable approaches and methodologies for Community-Driven Development.

“I have been working in a nonprofit organization for the last two years. I wish I had taken this course before so it would have helped me so much. Personally, I learned a lot of new things and developed a new perspective in approaching development projects. I am looking forward to applying all the sustainable development approaches I have learned in the program in my community,” said Dereje Mergia, Compassion Ethiopica, Ethiopia.
